hiding place during the day. He In
tended to stay there six weeks. By !
that time his beard would be sulfi
ciently long to be shaped into a Van
dyke. Also, for he practiced the most
rigorous frugality, he expected to have
thirty dollars with which to buy some
presentable clothes. From that point
on he felt positive that somehow his
soaring aloft would be swift and sure.
Only once was the monotony of that
month broken. By one of those i
anomalous conditions peculiar to some !
cities, the street the restaurant was 1
on, a miserable, poverty-stricken thor
oughfare, is less than ten minutes’ j
walk from Chicago’s wealthiest resi
dential section. This Incongruous jux
taposition accounted for the break in
Fitzhugh’s routine. It was late one
warm night iu June, and be had
walked a few streets front his hoard
ing house and was taking the air along j
the Lake Shore drive, when he saw
Kathleen Otis. A shining limousine
stopped before the Iron gateway
tit rough which he had twice passed, j
and as he drew back into the shadows
of some shrubbery she alighted with
her father. How exquisite she was— 1
how desirable! . . .
Every night after that Fitzhugh
promenaded the drive. But he never
saw her again. He rend later that she J
had sailed for France with her mother j
and would not return until the au- j
tumn.
CHAPTER VI.
Fitzhugh began to fret and fume at J
his irksome employment. He was |
coming to believe he had made a mis
take in adopting sucli slow means to j
an eagerly desired end, when, in the
t.iftli week, something occurred that
! dispelled his growing pessimism. It
was a warm Saturday night, and
when he came from the broiling
kitchen with his coat under his ariu,
dripping with perspiration, his em- !
ployer met him and handed hint eight :
dollars, five of which he promptly
j placed between the leaves of his sav- j
ings bankbook, which now showed a
balance of twenty dollars.
As he nodded good-night to his em
ployer he noticed a liatchet-faced man
in a checker-hoard suit on one of the
j lunch-counter stools. Before Fitzhugh
reached Van Buren street this man
! confronted him and, smiling as cor
dially as his hard face would permit,
1 asked:
“How much does the Greek pay j
: you?”
"According to my desert, my soliclt
; ous friend. I draw the munificent sal- S
ary of eight dollars each week.”
The questioner pushed back his hat j
and chewed his cigar. And his head j
bobbed up and down as lie scanned the
dishwasher from top to toe.
“I s'pose you’ll do.” he finally (le
aded. “Come ’long to the next block, j
Got aome'iu’ I want to show you.”
He led the way up State street, and
near Jackson boulevard stopped be
fore a gold-nnd-whlte restaurant, glit
tering with electric lights, brand new
and spick and span. Across the plate- ;
; glass window in letters three feet high
: was the name, “Max's.”
“See that? That’s me. I’m Max."
He tapped his chest proudly. “You’ve ■
' got to make that name famous. L'n
| derstand me? Famous! Come! Come
'long inside and I’ll tell you all ’bout j
; it.”
i They went in. and Mr. Max outlined
I his plan. Briefly, it was this: Fitz
i liugh, after a visit to a barber, was to
! apparel himself in distinguished garb, j
' and with an aristocratic demeanor, 1
| was to promenade State street for five j
hours daily, l’ainted in white letters
on the back of his frock-coat would :
be the name “MAX’S.”
“Urn-hum,” observed Fitzhugh, ;
drawing reflectively on his cigar. “How
j much do I get for this?”
“Well, let me see—say fifteen a
week. How’s that strike you?”
“Not favorably. Make it thirty and j
i the deal’s closed.” And even as lie
| spoke Fitzhugh was wondering if his
j heard sufficiently disguised him. He
I decided it did. Besides, there were .
I the theatrical possibilities of the !
t thing, and this appealed strongly to
his love for make-believe.
After some further bargaining it was
agreed he was to receive twenty dollars ;
the first week and, if employed longer,
thirty Uullurs each for all subsequent [
weeks.
He reported for work Monday morn- j
ing. Accompanied by Max, lie went :
to a barber's shop and afterward to a j
clothing establishment where ready- j
i made apparel of the better class was [
sold. About eleven o’clock lie stepped
from the restaurant, paused in the ves- i
tibule, took a pair of new chamois
gloves from a pocket and began draw- |
ing them on. When he stepped out i
into Ihe morning crowd and strolled i
up State street, swinging a gold- j
I headed cane, his glistening liat tower- j
ing high above the mass of heads, he i
started a furore far greater than his
sanguine employer expected.
When he reached Adams street
(jiere was in his wake a jostling num- j
her of more eurions ones, anxious to. 1
keep him In sight, yet loath to betray
their eagerness, lie stopped at the
corner, mounted a metal refuse box
near the curb and, removing his silk
hat with a sweeping gesture, shielded
his eyes with his hand and stared ,
straight into the zenith. A minute or j
more lie remained thus, the human
jam thickening about him with ev£ry
! second. The sidewalk became speedily
' choked. A policeman shoved his way :
i through the congestion, reached up, j
| jabbed his knuckles in Fitzhugh’s side. !
“Come out of it, professor,” advised
j he. “It’s the closed season for star
gazin’.”
( Fitzhugh put on his hat. stepped
i down from his pedestal, nodded silent
ly to the officer, and with the pomp
“Good boy! Wliat’s the figure,
Fitzhugh?”
“Oli. somewhere between eighteen
and twenty thousand, I believe.”
“Suppose I sell twenty September ;
for you, then? It's hardly worth the i
bother, of course; but I'll attend to ev- j
erything for you.”
Fitzhugh took out Ills wallet and
began counting checks and currency
into his companion’s hand. While his j
lips were speaking the denominations
on the checks and bank notes his mind I
was doing a different notation; ;
“Twenty thousand bushels at ninety- i
eight and a quarter cents a bushel— ;
nineteen thousand, six hundred and j
fifty dollars—two thousand five bun
(l rod cash from” Quigg —total winnings, ;
eighteen thousand—total due Quigg,
eleven thousand five hundred —total
capital on hand, twenty thousand, six i
hundred and fifty dollars.
“There you are. Hunt —nineteen j
thousand, six hundred and fifty -ilol- 1
lars.”
CHAPTER VII.
Two days had passed before Fitz
hugh and Quigg met again. Late in
the evening Fitzhugh, immaculately
dressed, entered the private office of
Quigg, who was alone and in a Mack
mood. The fraudulent speculator
swung round in his chair as Fitzhugh
entered, growled a sullen “Hello!” and
after a momentary silence growled an 1
unpleasant “Well?”
Fitzhugh sat down and fanned him
self leisurely with his Panama hat.
“It bids fair to be a warm day,” lie
observed.
“You know what I want,” snarled i
Quigg. rapping his desk with his j
knuckles. “Where’s my money?”
“Oh” —Fitzhugh stopped fanning,
put down his hat —“you mean the po- !
ker money?”
“What about it? Where is it? What
have you done with it?”
“Naturally, Quigg, I played poker
with It.”
“And you doubled it too 1" The
grafter leaned suddenly forward and j
pointed one of his short fingers in
Fitzhugh’s face. But if this maneuver i
was calculated to frighten or confuse
its mission failed.
Fitzhugh smiled easily. “I more
than doubled it. I more than tripled
it. I won eighteen thousand dollars.” 1
Quigg jotted n few figures on a cal- j
endar pad anil held out his hand.
“There’s eleven thousand five hundred i
coming to me. I'll take it now."
Fitzhugh shook his head smilingly, i
“I’m sorry,” said lie; “but I'm afraid ;
you’ll do no such thing.”
“What d'you mean?” Quigg half
rose from his chair, his puffy eyes !
blinking rapidly. “You've got this i
money, haven’t yon?"
“Got it i” Fitzhugh laughed. “Why, j
“Got It!” Fitzhugh Laughed. “Why,
Lord Bless You. Quigg, I Haven’t Got
the Price of a Ham Sandwich!”
Lord bless you, Quigg, I haven’t got
the price of a haul sandwich.”
“What’il you do with that money?” !
roared Quigg. smashing his fist against I
the arm of his chair. “How could you I
spend over twenty thousand dollars in
two days? You're lying to me!”
Fitzhugh's breath whistled through
his nostrils. He stood up quickly. His
face was very white. For the first
time he seemed in deadly earnest.
“Don't talk too much,” he advised
quietly. “There are some things I
won’t stand, mid if you anger me I’m
liable to make that fat head of yours
look like a plum pudding. The mou
i ey’s tied up in speculation, if you want.
to know. You have the choice of two
■ things: you can either take an equal
; chance with me in the speculation, or
| you can take my note for what I owe {
i you. Which do you want?”
“Neither!” exploded Quigg. “I |
wouldn’t give a cent for any specula
tion you'd make, or for your note
] either. There’s only one thing to do
1 with you. You've played me a dirty,
low-down trick, and I’m coming bock
the best way I can. You’re going to
work for me two months longer, and
you’re going to work for nothing. I’ll
see that you have a place to eat and
j sleep, but I won't promise more. At
| the end of those two months you’re
going to clear out of my sight, and
Lord help you if I ever see you again !”
“Gentleman to see you, sub,” an
nounced the uniformed negro.”
j “What name?” growled Quigg.
“Didn’t give uone, sub. Said he
t wanted to see you about some Florida
orange groves.”
“Tell him I am very busy hut will
see him in five minutes."
“Yes. suh.” The negro touched his
cap and departed.
THE PHOENIX TRIBUNE—ALWAYS IMPROVING
and dignity of a lord mayor, retraced
his steps down the street, the crowd
following.
In the afternoon he again sallied
forth and the success of the morning
was repented. He stopped this time
at Monroe street for his skyward
gaze. Again the crowd surged about
him. and again his poise was jarred by
a heavy hand. Instead of a police
man, however, he turned to find a man
“Come Out of It, Professor," Advised
the Officer. “It’s the Closed Season
for Star Gazin’."
of his own height, but of larger bulk,
regarding him with favor rather than
of ill-will. He was fashionably at
tired a’nd there seemed to envelop him
an atmosphere of Cash.
The stranger placed his hand on
Fitzhugh’s shoulder and lowered his
voice to a whisper. “I’ve something
for you, friend, that'll make life worth
living.”
Fitzhugh whispered back: “Lead on.
major. I'll follow straight.”
In a little while they were seated In
a ('mil place, where large fans whirred
- lily overhead and where dark hot
tlcs and tall glasses were placed be
fore them. The breezy one flipped a
card across the table, with the cryptic
I remark:
‘.Till Quigg.”
Tite card fell face up. Fitzhugh
read;
QUIGG & TEEVY,
STOCKS—BONDS—GRAIN,
; and then briefly Intimated:
“Ami I’m Fitzhugh.”
“Greetings. I'itz! Greetings and snlu
j iations! What does this sandwich
man stunt bring you in?”
“Such impertinence, Quigg, merits a
reprimand, but I'll give you a truthful
answer: thirty dollars a week. Com-
I mencing next week.”
Mr. Quigg placed his glass on the
; table with elaborate precision. IBs
puffy eyes narrowed.
"Fitz,” said he, “I’m going to take a
I chance. I've watched you twice today,
and I think I’ve found the man 1 want,
i I’m no bad judge of a man, either.’
i He produced a fat morocco wallet and
| slipped therefrom a treasury note
| which he passed across the table.
| “There’s your first week’s salary iu ad
| vance. When you're ready for work 1
am.”
Fitzhugh glanced at the bill, and
j saw it was of a liundred-dollar denotn-
I ination. He rested both arms on the
j table and. leaning across, looked his
vis-a-vis steadily iu the eye.
“Would you mind telling me,” he In
j quired pointedly, “what sort of a game
j you’re playing?”
Qtiigg chuckled and raised a fat,
gloved hand iu protest. “I be? to be
excused until I’ve seen my attorney.
Here, boy!” A waiter came hurrying.
“Get me a taxi. I’ve twenty minutes to
spare. We’ll hustle over to my tailor
j That’s a bum outfit you’re wearing.”
»«*»»**
Fitzhugh, in accordance with prior
j arrangement, reported to his new eni-
I ployer at nine-thirty Wednesday morn
ing. lie hud given up his room in
Illinois street, and had taken an un
pretentious apartment in a pretentious
j hotel farther north.
His correct morning attire, fault
less, well-tailored, expensive; his fine
ly pointed beard and mustache brushed
away from his lips in a French fash
ion, even the red flower in his Inlttor.-
liole, lent to his inches an air of dis
tinction foreign to Chicago’s higgledy
piggledy financial district. He was
acting perfectly the popular conception
of a “gentleman of leisure,” and
quick, sidelong glances of surreptitious
interest were cast his way by the hur
rying clerks and traders, pressing
! down La Salle street toward the board
| of trade, as he entered the building
where was the abode of Quigg and
l’eevy.
On a narrow platform before the
blackboard which extended the length
of the “customers’ room” a phlegmatic
youth walked up and down chalking
mystical figures, while the telegraph
instrument in a little box at one end
chattered its interminable tale. In
the three rows of chairs, also spanning
the room’s length, sat men, well
dressed and nondescript, the latter jot
ting in dog-eared memorandum books
with stub pencils, the former watch
ing the blackboard and conversing
earnestly about “market conditions.”
Messenger boys scuttled to and fro
across the floor, clutching at tlieir
caps, slapping their books shut, enter
ing and leaving some inner office
whence issued the clfckety-click-plick
of a battery of typewriters.
And in all this feverish animation
there was something vaguely artificial
